In today's episode of the LLVLC Show, Jimmy welcomes Christina Oman to talk about the toxic messages in the keto and carnivore community.   “The toxic diet culture permeates everything eventually.” - Christina Oman   In this episode, Jimmy speaks with a weight loss nutritionist and anti toxic diet culture advocate Christina Oman (@christinaoman.coach) about a controversial, but sorely needed topic of discussion. After attending the KetoFest conference in 2018 (where she met Jimmy in person) as an enthusiastic keto coach, she went back home to Ireland despondent that some of her basic questions and concerns were blown off by some prominent keto and carnivore diet leaders. As she started watching these communities continue to rise in popularity, even more warning bells went off that something wasn't quite right. Christina concluded that these very wrong messages made it impossible for her to remain a part of the community. Tune in as Jimmy and Christina get into the specifics of her concerns and sound the alarm on these concerning issues for people who eat low-carb, keto, and carnivore.

She doesn't want anything to sneak up.” - Dave Martin In this episode, Jimmy speaks with his friend and HBO's “Bad Boys Of Comedy” standup comedian Dave Martin (@c0med1an.dave.mart1n) about a personal topic that impacted his life beginning a few years back. In 2018, Dave got some grim news from his naturopath that his PSA was creeping upward and that he should keep an eye on that. When it got to a certain number, he went to get it checked out by an allopathic physician who immediately diagnosed him with prostate cancer. Before Dave could even process this devastating news at the age of 47, the doctor was already heavily pushing him to have a surgical procedure to remove the cancer–but also kill any chance of him ever having his manhood work again. Furious at this being his only option, Dave turned to natural solutions including a low-carb diet and supplementation to help him until he came across a miraculous one-time noninvasive treatment for his prostate cancer called HIFU that now has him cancer-free. Watch this interview for all the gripping details of the failure of mainstream medicine and why Dave bucked the trend that every other man with prostate cancer tends to follow.

Join Jimmy today as he welcomes Kat Owens to talk about combating the lie that the Bible pushes plant-based eating. “I recommend to people to look into buying meat in bulk. I buy half a cow at a time.”  - Kat Owens   In this episode, Jimmy chats with his friend and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner named Kat Owens (@low.carb.with.kat). As a low-carb animal foods fan and FNTP, it would be easy to chat with Kat about the finer points of nutrient density, digestion, and the endocrine system. But she wanted to talk about an interesting topic, especially for people of faith–does the Bible recommend consuming a plant-based diet as the ideal way to eat? This has been a common belief that Biblical eating is closer to vegetarian and vegan than it is keto and carnivore. Is this true? Tune in to hear Kat's take on this controversial subject!

Using only the highest quality hemp available and an incredibly unique and effective alchemical extraction technique called spagyrics, our oils, capsules and topicals contain high-potency, full-spectrum plant extracts in a unification of herbal traditions, East and West.
